The Florida Seniors Breakfast Special
************************************


 We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the 'seniors' special' was two
eggs, bacon, hash browns or oatmeal, and bagel or toast for $1.99.

'Sounds good,' my wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs.'

'Then I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because
you're ordering a la carte,' the waitress warned her.

'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?' my wife asked
incredulously.

'YES!!' stated the waitress.

'I'll take the special then.' my wife said.

'How do you want your eggs?' the waitress asked. 'Raw and in the shell,' my wife replied.

She took the two eggs home.

Yeah I couldn't really blame them either.  Sounded just like something my cousin would do too.  The woman waving is a meez from meez.com and yeah she is supposed to kinda represent me, lol.

That is too funny! My brother's response when asked how he wants his eggs: "surprise me". And it always is and makes him happy. Love taking the eggs home though. That one is too funny. Got to love Florida Seniors!

Oh LaNita I couldn't do the surprise me thing I only eat them a certain way and would be so totally afraid they would bring out sunny side up or something.  Your brother is brave.

Gotta love it when the restaurant charges for taking something away! The senior was too bright for the waitress, asking for the eggs raw...that was great.

During the season, you learn to eat breakfast, lunch & dinner late...so as not to be in the middle of the rush or waiting in long lines.

LOL....I'd take the 2 eggs home too!When do the snowbirds leave?LOL

LOL, not sure when the snowbirds leave these two are planted in Tampa permanently though.

This is too funny! What a clever woman to ask for the eggs raw and that is a huge breakfeast for $1.99!

Snowbirds usually come in October and leave around Easter; then come the tourists.

LOL, not sure if she is clever or not but she certainly got her point across.

Linda,

Very funny!  I ordered take out once at a chinese restaurant.  While waiting.... I sat at the bar and had a beer.  I was told that town ordinance states that I have to order food if I want a beer at the bar.  I explained that I just order $50 in take out.  I was told it didn't count.  I asked if I could get the Teriyaki sticks.... to go.... he said no.

I finally ordered the Teriyaki sticks.... and had my beer.   I didn't eat any of the sticks.  When my food arrived... I asked for a doggy bag.  He wasn't very happy.
